Zhang Yang, 66 years old and a member of the Central Military Commission, CMC, committed suicide at his home in Beijing, after authorities launched an investigation against him.

Recall that Guo and Xu, two retired Vice Chairmen of the Chinese Central Military Commission, were caught up in prosecutions as part of President Xi Jinping’s sweeping anti-graft campaign.

Guo, once China’s top uniformed Officer, was sentenced to life in prison last year, and Xu died of cancer in 2015, while awaiting Court-Martial.

In September, Hong Kong’s Sing Tao Daily Newspaper, citing unnamed people from Beijing, reported that Zhang was one of two officials being investigated for suspected breaches of party discipline, a euphemism for corruption.

Zhang was a former Navy Chief, before his appointment as Head of the Political Work Department of the People’s Liberation Army.
